Hello

Hello Patsy

Hello Barbara,

Thank you all for your sweet letters to me. I was so surprised to get them so

fast. Ok I will try and answer some questions for you. Yes I have had an ex-ray.

It looked a little like a small piece of bone was chipped off. My Doc gave me

oral prednisone. You know 60 mgs for 3 days then you cut back, etc. Because I

also have pain in my tendon he was afraid it could cause it to break if he gave

me a shot there. It got a little better for a short while and now it is back

where it was. There is a big knot on the rear of my heal. It is very red and it

really hurts. I also got a cortisone shot in my left shoulder. I can't lift it

up very much. It was only better for a few days as well. I think it could be

something wrong with my tendons??? I have reflux sometimes even though I

take my nexium. I always take another nexium if needed. I have not told my doc.

Thanks for wishing me a pain free day. Oh that would be a treat huh. I have doc

visit scheduled for the 22nd. Hope I can last that long. , Patsy, and

Barbara, please tell me about your RA. How long you have had it etc. Mine

started in my feet. I can remember note being able to let the bed sheets touch

my toes. Oh that was terrible. Like I said I am a new member. I really have not

had time to look at this group very much. I will put my pic on here later. I'm

49 years old now. Sometimes I feel 90. I hate walking in public with people and

you just can't keep up with them. I guess I will close for now. I can hardly

wait to hear from you all again. God Bless!!
